Why Hire a Wedding Planner

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS again on your engagement and all of the excitement of planning your big event.

I LOVED my wedding but If I had known better I think I would've REALLY benefitted from hiring a wedding planner instead of doing everything by myself.

First, she would've saved me a lot of time. If you are a busy professional or college student you really don't have the time to scour through the internet and Google and go to all of those wedding shows. There could be 100's even 1000's of vendors in your city. And even if you do have the time... How do you know who's reputable? Your wedding planner will narrow it down by finding out what's most important to you.

Next, a wedding planner will save you money. After figuring out the look and style of your wedding you will determine your budget. From start to finish you planner will help you with budget management and advise you not to make impulse purchases without consulting her. Your wedding planner can often get you better deals from vendors than even the vendor's advertised prices or just have more connections to equally qualified vendors with much lower prices than you might find on your own.

Lastly, a wedding planner can save you tons of Stress. During this time you are going to have to make so many decisions and you will be hearing so many people's different opinions. With a wedding planner you will have a third, unbiased person involved and she may give you the best advise because this is her carreer and she is an expert in her field. You will benefit from someone mapping everything out from start to finish and expediting you through the process. Whenever anyone is throwing a party of this magnitude you need a "Go-to" person to minimize stress.
